IMPROVEMENT IN DRAWER-PULLS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 123,30l, dated January 30, 1872.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM E. SPARKS, of New Haven, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented a new lnlprovelnent in Drawer-Pulls; and I do hereby declare thefollowing, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawing and the letters of reference marked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, and which said drawing constitutes part of this specification, and represents, in-

Figure l, a front view; Fig. 2, avertical central section; and in Fig. 3, a longitudinal central section.

This invention relates to an improvementin the article of manufacture known to the trade as drawer-pulls. These have usually been constructed in asingle piece, of shell form, secured directly to the drawer-front, so that the front ot'the drawer was exposed to contactwith the fingers, which quickly defaces the front. The object of thisinvention is to overcome this diificulty, as well as to produce a more elaborate drawer-front; and it consists in combining with such a pull a plate, which forms a base on the drawer-front to avoid the aforesaid difficulty.

A is a drawer-pull proper, of style in accordance with the taste of the manufacturer and requirements of the trade. B is a plate or base, of like desirable form, onto which the pull A is set, by preference a recess being formed in the plate at a, into which a corresponding' projection on the 'pull will sit, for the purpose of a ccnratel y determining the relative position of the two parts. Screws d, inserted through the pull in the usual manner, secure both to the drawer-front.

Covering the drawer, as this plate does, beneath the drawer-pull and for some distance around it, the drawer-front is protected from contact with the fingers, and the pull may thereby be made highly ornamental; as, for instance, the plate may be of one kind or color of material and the pull. of another.

Claim.

As an article of manufacture, the hereindescribed draw-pull, consisting of the pull A and the separate base or plate B,construct ed to be set the one upon the other, and both secured to the drawer, substantially as set forth.
